When Jesus said ‘ drop your nets and follow me, ‘ it was a no-brainer for the disciples to follow the prince; when I think about it I imagine that I would follow willingly. Would I though? Would you?
I have known Jesus so long that I can’t imagine life without Him, but what about the disciples? They didn’t know Jesus, they may have heard the prophecies, but they couldn’t have known who this man was.
The Spirit caused them to follow Jesus. But without the Spirit would they have?
If we didn’t know Jesus, would we drop everything and follow him?
Without the Spirit would anyone follow Jesus? Or would we, out of fear of the unknown, choose to ignore the man on the shore. ‘There would be no greater shame than to return to Narnia knowing I had turned away from adventure because of fear’ -Repichipe.

To follow means to trust and in trust there is no fear.

And now, what does it matter? It matters more than anything else in the world.
When C.S Lewis said these words in ‘Mere Christianity’ he really hit the nail on the head. Even now in our era of high-tech, high-society, live the way you want ‘democracy’ God still matters more than anything else in the world. Then He was big but shrinking, now He is shrunk, but like a daisy in the snow is still trying to push himself back up. He is there when we cry out, He hurts when we do, even if you don’t believe in God, God still believes in you.
In our fast paced, rat race life where does God come in? Do we have time? Does he even matter?
God doesn’t come in He’s already here. Make time, He makes time for you. And He matters more than anything else in the world.
